With EnergyPlugged you can:
- draw your tridimensional building in AutoCAD or import it from your favorite CAD program
- select each surface with a click and get the geometry data
- check potential relations between objects and select the one you need
- continue adding and editing EnergyPlus objects in the editor
- import datasets objects (schedules, internal gains, ...) in the same or in different layers
- exchange objects between layers
- convert values into SI and IP units
- add and edit comments to objects in the editor for future revisions
- save an .idf file from each layer
-
explore EnergyPlus simulation output files (.eso and .mtr)
-
load only the EnergyPlus output variables you need
-
graph each variable, navigate on the timeline, get each time step value into SI and IP units
-
get maximum, minimum and other statistical data
-
export variables in comma-separated values format
-
compile reports to graph multiple series in each chart from the EnergyPlus output variables
-
combine variables coming from the same or different files using series formulas
-
save each report and re-use them to get same charts and data tables from different simulations
Software Requirements
EnergyPlugged is an ObjectARX application that requires Autodesk AutoCAD 2007 or later to run. You will also need the dictionary file (usually called Energy+.idd) that comes with the EnergyPlus installation and is located in the EnergyPlus root directory.
